    In such circumstances, the Memorialist deems it unnecessary to moke any appeal to the candour of the Managers, or of those Subscribers to the Infirmary into whose hands this humble attempt may fall. He has no wish left to be gratifietl, but to l>e considered in the present instance, as most sincerely devoted to the best interests of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary; as happy in the prospect of the continuance of its prosperity, and zealous for any measure which is calculated to enlarge the sphere in which it can benefit the poor, by abating to a still greater extent than at present, tlie misery to which, from |x>- verty and disease, the lower classes are unavoidably exposed. For the imjH'rfections which may be discovered in the mode of conducting the statement of his opinions, die Memorialist hopes that an ample apology will be found in his good inten- tions; most happy would he be could he add, in the goodness of his cause, without acting presumptuously in anticipating an opinion yet to lie formed upon the statements contained in the following paper, by perusing which, the Managers will be en- abletl to give or withhold their approbation from its leading principle. Glatgow, 19/A December, 1814.
